Chitose Midori, named after the meaning of a green that will remain unchanged even after a thousand years, is a dark green color with a profound feel similar to the green of a pine tree.

It seems like it is. It is also known as an auspicious tree in China as ``Saikan Sanyu'' and in Japan as ``Shochikubai''.
